[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Netanyahu is almost the Yasser Arafat of Israel. Someone corrupt and only concerned with their political survival and popularity and filling their bank account up and nothing else.  He’s failed[/quote]

True. But you have to ask why did Hamas and all their supporters in Gaza choose to invade Israel and commit all those atrocities knowing that amoral scum like Netanyahu would obliterate Gaza if given a chance? This is the most right wing government in the history of Israel. Hamas chose to kill 1200 innocent civilians knowing very well that this government in particular would absolutely destroy both Gaza and any hopes for a Palestinian state in anyone's lifetime. It's bizarre to me why Palestinians in Gaza chose this course of action at this moment in time. But Palestinians making terrible decisions from 1947 onwards is to be expected. It's a pity.

Palestinians in Gaza didn’t go to a town hall and decide to bomb Israel. Hamas acted alone and From what I understand, not even the Hamas upper command in Qatar knew about 10/7. Sinwar and his brother kinda acted alone with their own Hamas comrades and 10/7 was their 1/6 rebellion and coup against Hamas in Qatar who were quite ok with the billions they made in Qatar and the status quo with Israel.  Qatar supposedly wiretaps the Hamas in Doha so there’s no way Qatar, an Israel and Us ally, wouldn’t have told Israel if they knew Hamas in Qatar were planning things. Secrecy is the biggest problem
In Gaza. Hamas makes their members make a vow of secrecy so even among family members, nobody knows who is Hamas or who isn’t. Hamas assumes anyone can be working for the Israelis so it’s best to keep membership undercover. This is what makes beating Hamas incredibly hard for both Gazans and for Israelis. They don’t have an army as they’re not a country so they don’t have a uniform. You don’t really know who is Hamas and who isn’t so Gazans can’t really fight back against something they don’t know. The average Gazans aren’t aware of where the tunnels are and Hamas is masked when they do show up. It’s like a mystery as to who is Hamas. Supposedly many doctors are part of Hamas undercover because Hamas pays for their medical school, and they have the most distaste for Israel because they see the horrific injuries but then again, there are many secular pro Israeli Gazan doctors who advocated for Zoom calls with Israeli doctors and friendship over retaliation.

The point is nuance here exists and Hamas has intentionally designed themselves and their hideouts to be unbeatable. Israel is finding this out after years of waving Hamas off as stupid or unsophisticated because they don’t have the technology.  Israel’s obsession with technology is their biggest blind spot. Technology doesn’t mean anything on the ground game. Military IQ is much bigger than that[/quote]
